MOODY 28

Broker’s description:

This Moody 28 is a bargain priced starter yacht. Well built by Marine Projects in the UK to a Bill Dixon design they are a popular little cruiser. Easy to handle and inexpensive to maintain, her two cabin layout gives a practical accommodation layout. Get cruising in the Med on a low budget! A recent positive survey from 2018 is available for this boat.

The Moody 28 has a sugar-scoop transom and the aft cockpit is a good size. Tiller steering frees up space and gives a responsive feel while underway. She’s easy to handle while marina manoeuvring and sailing performance is aided by her conventional slab reefed mainsail. A powerful electric anchor winch, large solar panel and good navigation aids add to her equipment list.

Descending the companionway steps the practical galley is located to starboard and a good sized chart table opposite to port. There are two straight settees either side of the saloon table that make good seaberths whilst on passage. The forepeak area houses a double cabin with stowage and a larger double cabin (again with good stowage) is accessed aft of the galley. The heads and shower compartment is located aft of the chart table and the ever reliable Yanmar engine accessed under the companionway steps.

This Moody 28 offers a good sailing performance with accommodation you would normally associate with a larger yacht in a relatively small overall length which means she is easily managed shorthanded and keeps storage / harbour fees low.
